This is a lovely photograph of Alice Violet but I wanted to tell you that if you go to the website The Old Colonist's Register: Auckland Library and look for the manuscript papers of George Grey, search (1) Moffitt and (2) Dentist, you will find a letter regarding Charles Henry Moffitt and his wife Harriet in 1849 when Harriet arrived in New Zealand.

Hi Joy,
Thanks for this.

I am not sure what website you mean as all those I try I cannot find the letter you mean.

Do you have the link please?

Many thanks,
Tom
